Andrew Mills/The Star-LedgerActor Michael K. Williams, who delivered the keynote address at the 15th annual Essex County Drug Court graduation ceremony in Newark last month, reprised his TV role as Omar in the Funny or Die video, "The Wire: The Musical."

Many of your favorite characters from acclaimed HBO drama “The Wire” are back in a new version that trades in plot intricacy for dance choreography.

Check out “The Wire: The Musical,” a Funny or Die parody imagining a fictional stage adaptation – a hilarious way for fans and the cast to revisit the show. It features Michael K. Williams, Sonja Sohn, Larry Gilliard Jr., Andre Royo and Felicia Pearson reprising their respective parts.

Highlights include Bubbles (Royo) singing “Stop doing drugs,” Snoop (Pearson) in a dress, Kima Greggs (Sohn) sneering at a recast McNulty, and a twist on the memorable season-one scene in which D’Angelo Barksdale (Gilliard Jr.) teaches Wallace and Bodie, both recast, the game of chess. Corner boys show off their choir-boy voices in musical numbers that jokingly strip key scenes of nuance.

D’Angelo sings (Note: spoiler ahead): “Chess is a metaphor for drug deals/Avon is the king and we’re the pawns/ But the game don’t change and the king will stay the king/ While you and I will both be dead and gone.”
